Baby been sittin' in the catbird seat
And now you won't talk to me
I ain't seen you since you flew the coup
On your thirty first birthday
New york city must have done you some good
Got the color back on your face
Ravin' and runnin' all night long
Now you're lookin' for a resting place
Oh, you bring me down
Oh, you come around with your lying face
Oh, you bring me down
I know someone else in my place
Love ain't nothin' but a house on fire
Burnin' from the inside out
And here we stand with the flames gone down
And nothin left to cry about
I can see you lookin' down on me
From your perch so high above
Never gonna come down never gonna be around
I can't stand this kind of love
Oh, you bring me down
Oh, you come around with your lying face
Oh, you bring me down
I know someone else in my place
Yeah, it's a house on fire
And you're burnin' me up
I know what you're tryin' to do
With that lyin' face of yours
Yeah, yeah it's a house on fire
